Kwik Stix - Metallic Colors (12 Pack)

Kwik Stix - Metallic Colors give kids the rich look of metallic paint without the usual cups, brushes, water, spills, and cleanup, using smooth twist-up tempera sticks that add shimmering color and dry in just 90 seconds.

Metallic Paint Without the Brushes, Water, or Mess

Give ordinary art projects an eye-catching metallic finish without setting out bottles of liquid paint. Kwik Stix combine the colorful coverage of tempera paint with an easy-to-hold solid paint stick, letting kids simply uncap, twist, and paint.

The set includes 12 shimmering metallic colors that make posters, signs, drawings, decorations, wooden crafts, canvas projects, and mixed-media artwork stand out. Kids can use the colors individually or combine several shades to add metallic details, backgrounds, borders, patterns, lettering, and illustrations.

Unlike traditional liquid tempera, there is no need to pour paint into cups, fill containers with water, distribute brushes, or spend activity time washing everything afterward. The twist-up design keeps painting simple and gives kids direct control over where the color goes.

The quick-drying formula dries in approximately 90 seconds, making these paint sticks especially useful for classrooms, after-school programs, camps, libraries, recreation centers, and other busy groups. Projects can move off the craft table quickly without long drying periods or crowded drying racks.

Kwik Stix work on paper, poster board, cardboard, canvas, wood, glass, and other craft surfaces, giving one set plenty of uses throughout your art program. The washable, non-toxic formula adds another practical advantage when the artists using them happen to be kids.
